Couneil boosted the mill rale from 8.75 to 9.30, to raise $628,615 by county levy, compared with $580,096 in 1965. Grants and subsidies from the province are budgeted for at $.1,,335,000, which compares with $1,244,000 in the 1965 budget. The general purpose levy is up a mill and a quarter to 8, making a total increase of 1.8 mills to 17.3. Total expendi- ture for roads and general pur- poses is estimated at $3,143,725, with revenue of $3,151,263 pro- viding for a nominal surplus of $7038. The new mill rate for roads "qualifies the county for the maximum amount of develop- ment road aid," the report of the road committee stated. It was presented by Reeve Donald McKepzie, of Ashfield, chair- man. At 8.75 the county would have qualified 'for' 136,500 for 1965 and also 1966. At 9.3 the subsidy is estimated at 535,000, plus additional development road entitlement o&. about $100, - Beasts Road Rats 'Q00 for 1965. and 1966 s'awi total -DHO money Of 2 ,•RQa." "The whole idea," County En- gineer Britnell said, in reply to a question by Reeve Duff Thompson, Clinton, "is based on the minister's promise than the more we help ourselves, the more his department will help us. Any county rich enough to maintain roads on 6 mills or less will not qualify for DHO aid. "When the Khiva contract is let (about April 29), we will owe the department 5265,000, and will not get. any until that is wiped off." For road construction this year, $598,000 is allocated, of which the county's share is 5299,000. Principal items: Road 27, Nile north 7 miles, grading, granular base, $268,000; Road 13, Clinton .west 5 miles, pav- ing shouldering, cleanup, $60,- 000; Road 27, Nile north, land and fence, 12 miles, $55,000; Road 14, Dublin north 2.50 miles, paving by Perth County, $30,000; Road 37, Airport road, 0.25 miles, grading, granular base, paving, $10,000. Bridges and culverts account for $225,909. .Principal. items: the 1Vlgrnoeik bridge in Kart Wa wano'sh, $WQQ,OQO; a 0400 span on Con. &9, Ashfield, $20,000, and a 30 -foot span on Coin. 14 15, Howick, $15,000. The second phase of a county road reversion to townships covers 11.47. miles; Road; 2, from Highway 84 to County Road 10, 2.35 miles; Road 21 from Highway 8 to County Road 13, 4.20 miles; Road 23 from Highway 21 to Highway 86, 4.82 miles. This will be effective when the bylaw is approved in Toronto, probably about June 1. In addition, Reeve McKenzie read just before adjournment a long list of short mileages, tech- nically designated as develop. ment road, being turned back by the county to local munici- palities. They are in almost all the townships. "The purpose," Clerk -Treasur- er Berry explained, "is .so . the money can be paid back•to the local municipalities on a 100% basis this year. The money is paid to the county and in turn to the municipalities, and can be paid into the general fund and used for any purpose. If on roads, there Will be subsidy on that as well." - A bylaw was passed extend- ing half -load restrictions to May 31, a month later than set out in the Highway Traffic Act. It will not be submitted for Transport approval unless there is a late spring breakup. Friends Honor S. Eckert Approximately 35 friends, relatives and neighbors gather- ed at the home of Mrs. John A.
